Monark Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 these days are dark.... Mikes Bikes in Greenside?
rock Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Just needing some linear pull drop levers like the Tektro RL520s do you still need those if you're running disc?
Flowta Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 do you still need those if you're running disc? Yes, if they are MTB disks which have the same pull as V-brakes. If they are road disk brakes, then you can use standard levers.
danthunders Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 these days are dark.... Mikes Bikes in Greenside?Yeah, not a good time at all. I'll have to check with them.

Flowta Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 ahh, got you, made the mistake of assuming you;re running road calipers, although they might be an easier find that the levers you're after? possibly, but I reckon the levers will be cheaper. I already have the disk calipers. Levers are £16.50 on Chainreactioncycles
Flowta Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 possibly, but I reckon the levers will be cheaper. I already have the disk calipers. Levers are £16.50 on Chainreactioncycles So bought a set of cheap aero levers to set the bike up with in the meantime. They'll work, but maybe not optimally. But hey they only cost R175, so I'll keep them in the spares drawer. The next question is...... Gears or SS

Flowta Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 As she stands now Next step dropbars, Ragley Luxy
Monark Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 That is going to be amazing! Shorten your stem and add spacers to lift it up. Remember your hoods need to be where your current flat bar is, that will take some adjusting and fiddling
Ryanpmb Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Hooks/ drops need to be where current flat bar is. Hoods should run higher than flat bar.
Monark Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Almost the same thing... You are splitting hairs! Heheheheheh

Failing this I'll have to get a stem extender
